<p>we need a thread to start bracing for the wreckage of all of the Ds and Rs some of us are bound to get come friday. kindly anihillate my hopes of being admitted so that it'll be easier to handle when it comes on the 10th:</p>
<p>my faults--not top 10% in class; no great ECs; risky essay (bad)
passible aspects--high SAT; good recs; risky essay (good)</p>
<p>tahnks guys, i know i can count on you <em>teary smile</em></p>
<p>My God...there Must Be At Least 50 Ed'ers On This Board. They Keep Coming In Droves. seriously, we make up about 5 percent of the entire ED application pool- thats ridiculous.</p>
<p>ive been here forever. i just never posted because my passowrd on this thing got screwed up and i never resolved it until now, when i decided i had some time and a genuine desire to be shot down with some awsome vicious force</p>
<p>If your essay was realy good, then you might actually get in. Also, exactly how high is you SAT? </p>
<p>It is not a lost cause. Plus if you do not get in, there are many different places that you will be just as happy. Like Amherst. Go Amherst!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!</p>
<p>1550, 770, 790, 800 on the 2's. hmmmph</p>
<p>by the way, ive heard that columbia puts lots of weight on the SATs. true?</p>
<p>Regradless of what people tell you, all the Ivies put a lot of weight on test scores. However, they simply take other things into account. I think that you have a solid chance with your scores.</p>
<p>count on the columbia peeps to say "i think you have a solid chance" when all I asked for was a little discouragment!</p>
<p>I simply refuse to put that kind of negative energy into the universe. Reality is what we concieve it to be. So just be hopeful. The only person who can discourage you is YOU.</p>
<p>I think you're gonna be rejected. I had a higher SAT score than you and I got deferred, so it doesn't look good for you buddy.</p>
<p>THANK YOU, soul. reality is one thing, fantacizing about taking the train to NYC (i live in east Conn.) on friday and seeing all of the awesomeness; passing out on my bed after it all; i just cant handle having to come back to the realistic probability that it wont happen. plus, you guys can vent some of that cooped up 'college admissions process' anger and frustration</p>
<p>if you really want anihillation, here goes...</p>
<p>nothing really stands out....except maybe you essay, and I haven't even read it. You don't have amazing EC's, do you?</p>
<p>that's the worst i can possible be.</p>
<p>This was a really weird thread...lets leave it at that.</p>
<p>what a weird thread.. ur asking people to tell u that ur gonna get rejected.. how screwed up is that?</p>
